US companies that are actively doing business outside the US and those wishing to expand globally are enjoying the benefits of zero taxation along with a series of globally competitive concessions granted by the Cayman Islands Government.
“Among the many benefits of Cayman Enterprise City are the opportunities presented by ongoing and strategic IP development within the zone,” said Ben Taylor, Partner at IRC. “Companies who make intentional investments in their IP will be well positioned to take advantage of a variety of business directed and event-based scenarios to generate value from their portfolios. We look forward to bringing our resources, processes, and strategy and expertise together with CEC’s unique infrastructure to help companies fully realize value from active IP management.”
The collaboration between CEC and IRC is expected to start in December 2014. In addition to providing access to services for current zone members, CEC and IRC will work together on ongoing business development activities to identify prospective companies who may benefit from operating within the zone. IRC will work also work with the zone companies’ local Cayman Counsel, collaboratively to help clients achieve their IP goals.
“Strategic IP development requires consistent orchestration and complimentary efforts between a firm’s business and legal advisors. We are excited to have the opportunity to work with local Cayman counsel to provide zone companies with a fully integrated IP solution,” commented Taylor.
“We see intellectual property development and monetisation as a key advantage for companies who establish a presence in CEC. We are excited to have IRC as a partner to provide strategic IP services to zone members who want to build, enhance, and realise value from their intellectual assets,” said Charlie Kirkconnell, CEO of CEC. “Expected beneficial changes to patent laws in the Cayman Islands, along with access to world class legal and tax advisors, makes CEC an ideal place for owning IP.”
